Match Result: Match halved

Comments

For the 2nd year on the trot we came away with a very amicable half for this very friendly fixture. After some friendly banter about shots to be given we also decided to make it a Greensomes format as it was such a gorgeous day at Cotswold Edge and we wanted to make the most of the splendid views and the course which was in good condition.

Corrinne and Emma went out first, with Corrinne being the home player and hopefully showing us the way. Unfortunately, they had a very closely fought match losing out narrowly on the 17th.

Su and Pam and Paula and Louise took no prisoners and decided a good early finish and back to the bar for some well-earned soft drinks to cool off in the heat was the order of the day. Both matches finishing well up 6&5 and 5&4.

Newcomer Annie Griffin and myself were lulled into a false sense of security, being up for most of the way but then losing out to back to back birdies late on and finally losing on the 17th.

All in all, a very good match played in a good friendly spirit and finished off with an excellent tea of sandwiches and home-made cake. Thank you to Cotswold Edge GC for being such good hosts. We look forward to the match again next year!!
